Beau's book: parody or experiment?

I don't really believe that "a night without armor II: the revenge" is a parody of Jewel's book. Yes, the cover was parodied, and Beau used all of Jewel's titles as titles for his own poems. But from there, any similarity between what Beau writes and what Jewel wrote ends. He claims to have written this book in four hours, and having known Beau in high school and knowing the way he does things, it's probably true. But the quickness in the writing and the total opposite-of-Jewel's-writing approach he takes should not be taken for a straight parody, as, say, "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Eat It" would be. Beau is original and fresh, and in a world of driveling, whining poets (I did not mention Jewel here out of respect for her fans), I think maybe we need a breath of fresh Oklahoma air.-the artist formerly known as M.

Come on you darn prudes, laugh a little, eh!

beau, i'm sure you check this site often, so i just thought i'd say that you are a riot! the book cracked me up! i know you couldn't care less about the grief you are getting from people, as you shouldn't. it's a gem. here's hoping people will lighten up for a change! p.s. i'm in boston ;) (red roof inn...)

Brilliant satire. Sia has a style all his own.

You don't have to read Jewel's book to appreciate this one. Every poem by Sia is a guaranteed ovation at any poetry reading. To the teenager who was offended by this book, use your sense of humor (I know you have one if you can pick WebTV as your ISP).

WISH I COULD GIVE INFINITE STARS!!!

My name is Seau Bia, and i think that this is by far the greatest poetry book of all time and that the author will one day be recognized as the undisputed greatest writer of all time. I would also like to add that this book is good and makes me laugh.
